Catalans, or Wigan

Wigan......?

mind you the pies were complaining about not having a big name sponsor, but with Gelling and Carney in the same team the'yll get a big sponsorship deal off Huggies....

Could be a good opportunity for us.

Carney is a good player and would be a better halfback than you would find in the rest of SL. We need some real class to replace Briers and nowadays these type of top Aussie aren't available as much as they used to be.

Yes maybe he is a bit of a bogun but as long as he doesn't let himself get distracted away from his form on the field he could be an asset. Both Les Boyd and Joel Monaghan left Australia in disgrace and were great signings for us.

Won't get a visa, so Catalans

you guys need to chill
carney was merely taking the p155

Won't be coming to SL he'll link up with Ricky Stuart again at Canberra , they desperately need a no 6 and he worked under Stuart at the sharks

Didn't he turn down the invitation not that long ago? Don't think there's much of a queue for people warning to work with Stuart.

May as well go the whole hog & get Jordan Tansey !

A successful career on the stand-up circuit awaits you. I'm sure of it.

Can you now come up with a Suarez joke referencing bite'ing in some way ?

You can't compare Carney to Joel in any way. Joel made one big mistake after a trouble free career. Carney has gone from disaster to disaster and has caused trouble wherever he's gone. There is a good possibilitythat, if he does try to come here, that he won't get a visa. Mind you, with Wigan being short of a 6 for next year it would be interesting to see their fans reaction if they signed him, bearing in mind some of the things they posted on here after Joel signed for us.

Carney's problem is the Sydney drinking 'it' boys and girls scene. When he left Sydney Roosters it should have been a move away from the social group he kept. But he switched clubs down to the south of Sydney in Cronulla so probably didn't even have to move house and most likely kept the same social group. So his drinking antics continued.

A move over here, especially up North, may well do him the world of good. There are no big cities up here. Just Manchester which is a small city and then very small cities like Liverpool and Leeds. There aren't the social scenes in these cities like a big city like Sydney or London.

The thing is, he's a cracking player and I'd love to see him in SL, and I'd really lie to see him at Wire! He's surely worth taking a chance on?

Will be interesting to see what happens...

Leeds is bigger than Manchester, in fact it's only behind London and Birmingham in size.

Blimey, Manchester a small city, has it got a duck pond in Albert Square? Liverpool and Leeds, very small? Are you not getting confused with St Asaph and St Davids in wales?

Have to agree, those figure appear to be low. I heard that the largest town was Reading with a population of circa 245,000. I think the last general election the electoral role for Warrington was 165,000 and you have got all the non eligible voter on top of that. Anyway back to the topic. Todd Carney has gone from one scandal to the next throughout his career. He just doesn't seem to learn.I don't think he can change regardless of where you putt him. There are plenty of places for him to get in trouble in the North West. Leave well alone.

City boundaries and the population within them aren't the only measure of 'size'. Manchester's city boundaries are notoriously small, but, that's because it is at the centre of a large conurbation of some 2.8 million souls, effectively hemmed in by the 9 other authorities that make up Greater Manchester.

The counter balance is that many of its neighbours, such as the City of Salford, itself not insignificant in terms of metropolitan area and population doesn't have a fully developed city centre, meaning that Manchester's economic power and influence can't be assessed by a simple league table based on who lives one side or the other of the Rivers Irwell, Medlock, Mersey, Aire, etc. as these physical boundaries are surely outdated?

The old adage that what Manchester does today London does tomorrow might not be as true as when it was first suggested, but, as a city Manchester remains way in front of Leeds and Birmingham...don't believe everything that Tevez came out with as he engineered a move out, there's certainly enough going on to entertain the likes of Todd Carney.

A related joke with Suarez .......
Carneyvor !!!

Why on earth would we want to even think of signing a load of trouble when we've already got four quality halfbacks?

It must be an Aussie thing. HKR have sacked 22 year old Wayne Ulugia 2 months into an 18 month contract for repeated breaches of club discipline.

The moral of the tale is develop British youngsters & leave the Aussies where they are.

A certain Wire half back who had a pub in Newton le Willows was rather partial to a pint or three without apparent harm and became of the of the games all time greats.

Kiwi, Kelly Shelford had to be knocked up every Sunday otherwise he would sleep through and miss a game. More than that, the club had a key to go in and drag him up.

One Sunday it was said he was so hung over drunk that he was knocked up brought to the game sleeping in the car stinking of alcohol still drunk. Had no warm up went on to the pitch, was awarded the mom, went back into the changing rooms after the game, fell back asleep and when he woke up an hour later, didn't even know he played!

Smith got rid of one heap of trouble when he first arrived at the Club. Why spend good money on another one?
